Oh, George.

I'll bet you shoot in-camera dupes of your slides.  In fact, I know you
do; you've said so.  There's no reason that you couldn't, like many of
us do, mount one pair in "Realist-format" mounts and another pair in
2x2's.  Until I bought Alan's 2x2 viewer, there was basically no other
acceptable option for me if I wanted to show slides in a viewer.  It was
Realist-format, or nothing.  Now, of course, everything can stay in
2x2's.  Sure saves me a  load of time.

A few short months ago, you swore by your Realist, and an RBT was "out
of the question".  People CAN change, George.  Who knows, in a few short
months you might become a dedicated 2x2 fan as well.

Oh, by the way, 2x2 folios exist as well.  The format is NOT a barrier
to participating in such things.
